We don't have time to go into details but Faith made it through the surgery ok. As you can tell she is very swollen and having a difficult time managing the pain (she is on a lot of drugs but it is difficult for her to adjust to breathing from her neck). She is going to be on the ventilator for the weekend as she recoups. We will post more tonight.

We've been thinking about you and Faith, and are glad to hear that she came through the surgery fine. I would imagine that most people (including kids) are in some pain after a surgery. It will take a few days, but I am sure you will see a huge difference soon... You both have so much courage. We'll continue to send you good vibes. Our thoughts are with you...

OK, I cried when I saw her, but I can tell from baby Faith's face that she's determined, fiercely determined to live fully ... that's what we pray for, that she'll be healthy and live fully after all these hospital visits.

She's such a sweetheart, and we pray she's not in pain through the recovery. We KNOW she'll do well.

On February 4th, 2007 our little butterfly Faith Edona came into the world 15 weeks premature. At 25 weeks gestation she weighed 1 pound 6 ounces. This blog chronicles the ups and downs of life with a medically fragile child.
